Ingredients
Sweet Potatoes
4 small to medium sweet potatoes, or 2 large sweet potatoes cut in half
2 tablespoons ghee (clarified butter) or raw coconut oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Chipotle-Lime Yogurt
1 cup plain Greek yogurt

Toppings
1 cup cooked black beans (drained and rinsed, if canned)
1 avocado, cubed
